Aaron Gott to Speak as Panelist for ABA Antitrust Section Program on FTC v. Qualcomm
Bona Law partner Aaron Gott will speak as a panelist on an upcoming ABA Antitrust Section panel on FTC v. Qualcomm, a case in which a district court held that Qualcomm violated the federal antitrust laws and issued an injunction prohibiting Qualcomm from conduct tying patent licensing to the supply of its chips. Qualcomm appealed, and the case is currently before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
On appeal, Gott, along with Bona Law lawyers Jarod Bona, Alexandra Shear, Luis Blanquez, and Luke Hasskamp, filed an amicus curiae brief supporting Qualcomm’s position on behalf of the International Center for Law & Economics and a dozen law and economics scholars throughout the country.
